Mémorial américain, World War I memorial in Meaux, France.

The American Memorial is a monument in Meaux created with sculptures and architectural elements to commemorate World War I. It was designed by Frederick William MacMonnies and stands near the Museum of the Great War.

In September 1914 French and British troops halted the German advance near Meaux in the First Battle of the Marne; no American units fought there. After 1918 a model competition was won by American sculptor Frederick William MacMonnies, funds were raised in the United States, and the monument was dedicated on 11 September 1932 by President Albert Lebrun as a gift from Americans to the French people. It was listed as a monument historique on 6 February 1990.

The monument is known as "Tearful Liberty" (La Liberté éplorée) and as the Varreddes monument, from the road of that name. Its central figure is called Marianne or "France Defiant". The base carries Joffre's order of 6 September 1914 in French and, at the rear, an English inscription voicing the "silent voices of the heroic sons of France".

The memorial is located directly next to the Museum of the Great War, where visitors can explore additional exhibits about the World War I conflict. Combining a visit to both sites provides a more complete understanding of the period.

A first, life-size bronze version of MacMonnies's Liberty was cast in 1922 and is kept at the World War I memorial in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The Meaux monument itself was assembled from 220 blocks of Lorraine stone, with its pedestal designed by architect Thomas Hastings. On 3 June 2021 lightning struck the statue and destroyed its upper part; the French Heritage Society backed its restoration.
